It took years of citizen advocacy and about $1.5 million, but Edmunds Middle School is now accessible to people with mobility issues.
Or at least mostly accessible. While a newly installed lift will make it possible for students in wheelchairs to attend the school, there's still work to be done, noted Burlington School District Superintendent Jeanne Collins in remarks at a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Wednesday afternoon. The event was attended by dozens of Burlington parents, students, disability advocates, politicians and school administrators.
"All I ask is we don't stop here," she said. "We have a whole campus — let's keep going."
